Jones's 98' GT Motor Swap

[sn95jones]

I've made this thread upon Rz's suggestion.
I will be pulling my 95,xxx mile npi motor out of my GT and dropping in a Explorer PI motor, and this thread is here to reach out to the forum for anyone in the DFW area willing to lend a hand, all help will be greatly appreciated.
At this point the initial plan is to do this at my apartment in my garage, I should have the majority of the necessary tools with the exception of a few ratchets, fuel disconnect tool, ect.
Since alot of my tools were stolen last year I will need to look up the tools that will be needed for this job. if someone has a better idea on where this should be done by all means I am open to suggestions. If the car needs to be somewhere else, I can make that happen to make the job easier for us all. Anyone who is kind enough to offer their space to do work will most definitely be reimbursed for the kind gesture.

Right now we are planning this out and making a list on who will be attending.

This is a huge favor I am asking for but I am in dire need of help towards this.

Again any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

I already have my mark viii motor in my car. You just need to install a pilot bearing. Mark viii's being autos dont come with one.

No difference in wiring?

Just fyi, the wap alum block will handle more power than jones will ever throw at it anyway lol

4.6 blocks are all like indestructible

Guess since I may just do a cobra conversion while im at it haha.
Not Cobra badges, but a cobra front bumper and rear bumper would be cool.
